Scouting for Girls were formed in late 2005 by Roy Stride (Lead Vocals/Keyboards), Greg Churchouse (Bass Guitar/Vocals) and Peter Ellard (Percussion/Vocals).

The name Scouting for Girls is a play on words on the renowned Scouting for Boys handbook, first published in 1908 for the Scouts, which provides boys instructions on good citizenship.

Since 2005 the band has built-up a large internet based audience through their MySpace website together with regular chart success on the IntoMusic and Pulse Rated unsigned band websites. They have also played various London venues, including the The Dublin Castle (Camden), the Shepherd’s Bush Empire, The Borderline (Charing Cross Road), The Water Rats (King’s Cross) and Turnmill’s (Farringdon). Not only have they performed at these popular venues, but they have also been fortunate to record a live session for BBC Radio One, frequently feature on London’s Xfm and airplay on BBC Radio Two with Jonathan Ross.

On the 14 February 2007, Scouting for Girls were signed to Epic UK (a division of Sony BMG) and they have recently been recording material for an album release date of September 2007 with their first EP single, “It’s Not About You”, was released on 25 June 2007 and is the highest charting limited edition E.P. in chart history.

Their first full single “She’s So Lovely”, was released on 27 August 2007 and stayed in the Top 10 for six weeks. Their second single, “Elvis Ain’t Dead”, was released on December 17 2007 and spent 4 weeks in the top 10.

The debut album from Scouting for Girls is self-titled, certified Platinum, and has sold over 400,000 copies. It reached number 1 in the UK on 20 January 2008. It was announced in March 2008 the band would play second on the NME stage at T In The Park, after The Wombats and before Feeder.
